I was a photographer in Minsk, Belarus. In August 2020, my family and I had to move after an unreasonable wave of police violence swept the country.

At some point, I started to paint with oil because I wanted to share what was sitting inside me. The topic of my discovery is the inner self of the woman — every painting is showing it from a different angle.

I started to see myself and the world around me from a different perspective. And now I want to share it with the world.
